How to Turn Off VPN on iPhone is straightforward once you use the current iPhone controls. The exact wording can vary slightly by iOS version, carrier, and iPhone model.
- Open Settings.
- Tap General > VPN & Device Management > VPN, or use the VPN control shown in Settings if your configuration exposes one.
- Disconnect the active VPN.
If the VPN immediately reconnects, open the VPN provider’s app and disable its auto-connect or on-demand setting. Managed work or school devices may restrict these controls.
Before making the change, make sure the iPhone is running a current iOS release and that you know any passcode, Apple Account, carrier, or app credentials the feature may require. If the labels on your screen do not exactly match these steps, use Settings search to find the named feature rather than choosing a similarly named control. Apple occasionally moves settings between iOS releases.
